Catalyst Grant Application

The purpose of the ENRRICH catalyst grant is to complete stand-alone projects that are the first step in a larger research program or to obtain pilot data needed to strengthen grant applications to provincial or national funding agencies. Stand-alone projects are defined as projects that can be completed within the available maximum funding. The competition is not meant to supplement other funding sources to complete a larger project. Principal Applicants and Co-Applicants should either be ENRRICH members or attach a membership application with this funding application. The Principal Applicant is the individual responsible for the preparation, conduct, and administration of the research grant. Only those with academic appointments may act as Principal Applicant. Investigators may only submit one grant as Principal Applicant, but may participate as co-applicants on additional applications.
